meeting place: N 42° 33.238 W 071° 00.244

The bike path is a great place to walk or ride a bike, and skate. Come out and enjoy a great day on my favorite bike path. There is lots of wild life along the path, with several small ponds and plenty of woods.

The timing is for an autumn setting, as the temps are cool and the trees are in full color.The path is mostly flat and easy going.

Coffee will be provided for those wishing it. Bring a donation of food if you'd like.

Lackeys are welcome, helping with safety,keeping things going and an event photographer is needed.

Door prizes will be available.

There will be at least one challenge for the event, MAYBE MORE.

Bring swag for new cache. However, there will be a swag grab bag.

Good to know stuff

This 4.6 mile multi-use trail in Peabody was officially opened fall
2009. The trail follows the abandoned Boston and Maine railroad at
Russell Street near the Middleton town line and continues east
towards Route 1. Just west of the highway at Lt. Ross Park is a
trail head and ample parking. From the park follow Johnson Street
to Lowell Street under the highways to Peabody Road where the
off-street trail begins again. This section continues east towards
the North Shore Mall and Lahey Clinic. Parking is available at
Lahey as well. The trail, constructed by Mass Highway and funded by
Peabody’s Community Preservation Committee and federal TEA-21
money, connects over 465 acres of publicly owned open space,
numerous neighborhoods, and two shopping destinations. Proctor
Brook, Ipswich River, and Norris Brook are all visible from the
trail. The surface is a 10-foot wide bituminous path with 2-feet
wide crushed stone shoulders; yellow striping designates travel
lanes and location markers are every 1/10th mile.
